The Canutillo Independent School District School Board is one of only eight in the state to be selected by the Texas Education Agency to participate in the Lone Star Governance Exemplar Cohort -- an intensive program aimed at helping school districts improve student outcomes.

“The leadership at these eight school districts are already demonstrating effective governance practices where the success of every student is the focus,” said Commissioner of Education Mike Morath. “As part of the inaugural LSG Exemplar Cohort, the school board members and superintendents in these districts seek to take their efforts to the next level, which can lead better student outcomes in their communities.”

LSG Exemplar Cohort members will be sharing best practices from their experiences to help strengthen leadership in districts statewide.

“Through this governance process the board and administration will continue to grow together to better understand how to best serve our students and sustain our A-rated district,” said Superintendent Dr. Pedro Galaviz.
